Preface Top Map Card ... Click here for letter and more pictures. Sojourner Truth Sojourner Truth, born in about 1797, was a woman of remarkable intelligence despite her illiteracy. Truth had great presence. She was tall, some 5 feet 11 inches. Her voice was low, so low that listeners sometimes termed it masculine, and her singing voice was beautifully powerful. Whenever she spoke in public, she also sang. No one ever forgot the power of Sojourner Truth's singing, just as her wit and originality of phrasing were also memorable. "If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back and get it right-side up again. And now that they are asking to do it, the men better let them." Sojouner Truth Isabella Van Wagenen was born into slavery in Hurley, New York in 1797. She was one of 13 children but she never got to know her brothers and sisters because they were quickly sold a slaves. Her master, Mr. Dumont arranged for her to marry a slave named Thomas. She had 5 children with him, but her master sold some of them. She was released following the New York Anti Slavery Law of 1827, however slavery was not abolished nationwide for 35 years. She lived for a time with a Quaker family who gave her the only education she ever received. They also helped her get back one of her children.

Sojourner Truth born 1797, died 1883 Born a slave in New York, Sojourner Turth was orginally called Isabella Van Wagner. She gained her freedom in 1827, after most of her thirteen children had been sold, however. She took the name "Sojourner Truth" in 1843 after having a vision. Her deep religious beliefs and talent as an orator made her an effective and eloquent speaker on behalf on women and Blacks. She travelled widely, sometimes putting herself in great danger. In 1836, Truth became the first Black to win a slander action against whites. At the 1851 Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio, her powerful "Ain't I a Woman" speech awed even detractors.

70. Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) Sojourner Truth (c. 17971883). Contributing Editor Allison Heisch. Sojourner Truthoffers a wonderful opportunity to raise large questions What is literature? http://college.hmco.com/english/heath/syllabuild/iguide/truth.html

Sojourner Truth (c. 1797-1883) Contributing Editor: Allison Heisch Classroom Issues and Strategies One reason why Sojourner Truth has not appeared in conventional American literature anthologies until now is that the texts are stenographic transcriptions of spontaneous speeches. Thus, even the orthography is "made-up." Students may tend to dismiss this as nonliterature. Also, the interior structure of the speeches does not follow expected expository modes (i.e., there's no "beginning," "middle," and "end"), so they are vulnerable to rigidly "logical" analysis. Sojourner Truth offers a wonderful opportunity to raise large questions: What is literature? And what is American literature? Are speeches literature? Is it literature if you don't write it down yourself? What is the purpose of literature? It is useful to set these speeches for the students in the context of anti-slavery meetings, to describe where and how they were held, and also who participated. Students may have difficulty with these texts; old-fashioned close reading in class will help. I like to talk about "unpopular ideas": Sojourner Truth has several of these! It is also useful to place her in the tradition of oral literature.

Nov. 26, 1883, Battle Creek, Mich.), black American evangelist and reformer who applied her religious fervour to the abolitionist and women's rights movements Isabella was born into slavery and spent her childhood as an abused chattel of several masters. Her first language was Dutch. Between 1810 and 1827 she bore at least five children to a fellow slave named Thomas. Just before New York state abolished slavery in 1827, she found refuge with Isaac Van Wagener, who set her free. With the help of Quaker friends, she waged a court battle in which she recovered her small son, who had been sold illegally into slavery in the South. About 1829 she went to New York City with her two youngest children, supporting herself through domestic employment. Since childhood Isabella had had visions and heard voices, which she attributed to God. In New York City she became associated with Elijah Pierson, a zealous religious missionary. Working and preaching in the streets, she joined his Retrenchment Society and eventually his household. In 1843 she left New York City and took the name Sojourner Truth, which she used from then on. Obeying a supernatural call to "travel up and down the land," she sang, preached, and debated at camp meetings, in churches, and on village streets, exhorting her listeners to accept the biblical message of God's goodness and the brotherhood of man. In the same year, she was introduced to

She was traded to several families as a child and married a fellow slave at the age of 14. Truth eventually gained her freedom in her late 20s and, as a deeply religious person, answered an evangelical calling. In 1843 she felt called by God to change her name to Sojourner Truth to reflect her mission as an evangelical wanderer and truth teller, fighting against slavery and for woman suffrage. She was known for her fiery rhetoric and her infectious style of speaking drew large crowds. The Narrative of Sojourner Truth, written by Olive Gilbert, was published in 1850 and was one of the first records of a female slave's life story.

Originally named Isabella Bomefree, Truth, the second youngest child of ten, was born around 1797 to James and Elizabeth Bomefree, slaves on a farm in Ulster County, New York. As a child and youth, Isabella spoke Dutch as a first language, was sold to several owners, and at age fourteen married an older slave named Thomas with whom she had five children. In 1826 (one year before she would have been legally freed by state law), Isabella ran away from enslavement, finding protection with the Von Wageners, a Quaker family whose last name she took. While with the Von Wageners, Isabella went to court and successfully sued for her son's return to New York after his owner had sold him illegally into perpetual slavery in Alabama. In the early 1830s, Bomefree relocated to New York City with her teenage son Peter, leaving her daughters in the care of their father. Earning a living as a domestic servant (one of the only occupations open to free black women), Isabella also attended white and black churches and joined the Magdelene Society, a Methodist mission dedicated to reforming prostitutes. Later Isabella became the only Black and one of the few working class people to join Robert Matthews' Zion Hill commune, which believed in good and evil spirits and illnesses caused by the same, until its collapse in 1835.

She has no remembrance that Saturday afternoon was ever added to their own time, as it is by some masters in the Southern States...

80. Learning To Give Briefing PapersPeople Sojourner Truth By Amelia E. Clark Graduate Student, Center on Philanthropy atIndiana University. Sojourner Truth means itinerant preacher (Hine, 1175). http://www.learningtogive.org/papers/people/sojournertruth.html

Sojourner Truth By Amelia E. Clark Graduate Student, Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University Definition/Life Highlights Isabella Baumfree was born around 1797 in upstate New York. When slavery was abolished in New York State in 1827 Isabella was set free. Her newfound freedom was to be a life of service that she dedicated to her people and to the rights of women. Later in life, Isabella would change her name to Sojourner Truth, a fitting name for an ex-slave who crusaded for abolition and women's rights. While her petition for abolition was an ongoing battle, Truth is probably best known for her speech entitled "Ain't I a Woman?" delivered at the 1851 Women's Rights Convention in Ohio. Historic Roots Isabella was born into slavery around 1797. Isabella's parents were slaves, and had ten to thirteen children (the actual number is unknown). People of Dutch descent settled Ulster County in upstate New York. Due to the heavy Dutch influence in the area, Isabella's first language was Dutch. Isabella was eventually sold to John Dumont. She was a slave for Dumont during from 1810 to the mid-1820s. While a slave for Dumont, Isabella bore five children with her husband, Thomas, a fellow slave. Before the state of New York abolished slavery, Isabella escaped Dumont, and was taken in by Martha and Isaac Van Wagener, a Quaker family. Isabella took Van Wagener as her proper name.
